Cheese is basically curdled milk, with all the watery stuff removed.

A catylist is added to the milk to make it split (curdleing) into the curds & the whey.

The whey is drained off leaving the curds,the curds are then compressed (often using muslin and a press) into a 'wheel'.

It's then left to mature for a varying period of time.

Small variations and additions to the above process make the differing types of cheese.

Thanks.
